The bloodiest day in American history was going to kick off in the early morning hours of September 17th, 1862. Situated between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia was a farm that belonged to the Miller family. The Battle of Antietam would transform their stand of crops from simply being a cornfield to The Cornfield.
